ya know somewhere is one person who will never forgive themselves.
remember seeing bumper stickers: “Intel inside, don’t divide.”
There was a joke that the successor to the RU-486 contraceptive pill was the RU-Pentium, and it worked by preventing the embryo from dividing correctly
This still stresses me out because my software is mission critical, safety related, and blindly assumes that the calculations will be correct.
Huh, I practically only know Intel as having defects and vulnerabilities, but I didn't know this had such a long history...
